Diddy Begins 50-Month Federal Term as Defense Plans Appeal and Trump Says He Sought Pardon

His lawyers say the sentence improperly weighed acquitted conduct, setting up an appeal.

Overview

  • U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian on Oct. 3 imposed a 50-month sentence, a $500,000 fine, and five years of supervised release after July convictions on two Mann Act counts.
  • Combs remains at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center with roughly 13 months credited as time served, as prosecutors dispute defense claims that conditions there are inhumane.
  • Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo says a notice of appeal will be filed in the coming days, arguing the judge relied on acquitted conduct and acted as a “13th juror.”
  • New civil suits followed the sentencing, including a Los Angeles ‘John Doe’ filing and a separate allegation by Leiana Ripley, adding to Combs’ legal exposure.
  • President Trump told reporters Combs asked him for a pardon, and no clemency decision has been signaled.
